ged, you're a narrow minded fool, and i think the same of the other fella who said he agreed 100 % with you. you're entitled to your opinion but i damn sure do not respect it...

yes there are fans who only support the team because of success but you can't generalize and say that every out of town supporter is the same. you seem to be talking a lot about choice but it's not like your mother or father stuck a fork up your face and forced you to choose liverpool over everton. your family may have supported liverpool and therefore you also became a lfc supporter.

it was the same for me. i have family who supported lfc and thats why i've been a liverpool supporter since i was 5 or 6 years old. you should stick your head outside of your little bubble and stop acting like a dumb racist...

One of the main differences between locals and Out Of Towners is that when you come from the City you are not allowed to stick a pin in a peice of paper and choose a team or pick a team because you like there kit, your are brought into the world to support either Liverpool, Everton or maybe Tranmere it is already done for you by past generations. I am not saying no Out of Town fan is not allowed to support who they want but what I am saying is that it should not be at the expense of local fans who live in the City and that is what has happend over the years, if any new stadium is built there should be so many tickets set aside for locals, put tickets around schools for example which will safeguard future generations of local fans and then after that set aside a couple of thousand tickets for Out of Town daytrippers and foreign fans who want to get there picture taken and say they have been to Anfield. If you are not going to safeguard the local fans then the identity of the Club and city will be lost forever more than it is now, you might as well build the stadium in Milton Keynes or somewhere, change the name as it will no longer represent the people of the City and change the liver bird off the emblem


Im from Ireland, so i am at out of towner to you, reason I support Liverpool is due to the fact my family lived there dor years and I have a lot of connections to the city.

Ged if we take your point why are all people from Liverpool not supporting Everton after all they were there first....can you not see how you are sprinting blindfolded down a dark alley????

youre club is it?

heres a simple question, why?
because you live near the stadium? or do they consult you on club matters.

This debate is total cr@p! We all know that with only the support of locals the club would be no where. I'm certainly not going to stop supporting LFC just because a few small minded dumb asses are against OOT supporters. They need to grow the f**k up and shut the f**k up and thats my last word on it!

Later all!!!

Liverpool Football Club belongs to the people and City of Liverpool, it carries the name of the City and the emblem of the Club is the Liver Bird which sits proudly on top of the Liver Building. So we can safely say the club belongs to people in which inhabbit the City first and foremost. I have no problem whatsoever with foreign and OOT fans supporting the club but not at the expense of locals which it has. In an ideal world we would have a bigger stadium to make everyone happy but we have'nt so we have to look at ways to protect the clubs identity which is local fans first. If there was no local fans and by the way the amount attending is slowly being drown out, why call the team Liverpool or play games in the City. you may as well call the club after a business name or play the games in a place where foreign and oot fans can travel to it easier than where it is now.

well if thats the case why does it take the City and peoples who live in it's name as well as claim to represent it by using the emblem as the clubs badge of honour if as you say belongs to a private limited company. It's the people who live in a City which makes a City special and unique and why the City of Liverpool is like no other, Hysel and Hillsborough showed how close the Football Club and the people of the City are together and it's the strongest bond of all and why local fans will always be the lifeblood of the club, we go hand in hand.
